Please click the "FIND YOUR LOCAL CASTER' buttom to request an appointment in your area.
At your appointment, an impression is taken of your child's hand using soft clay.
If your child has any kind of skin problem you must seek advice from your GP before having a cast done.
After your appointment, the impression is left to dry out thoroughly for at least 2-3 weeks. It is then painted in classic or pearl white or metallic silver, rose gold, bronze or gold paint before being framed.
Choosing a frame
We have a huge selection of frames to choose from to match most homes and existing decor.
You will find it easier to choose your frame, mount and paint colours if you know where you will hang the finished frame.
To help you decide you can ask yourself a few questions, such as:
- Where will I hang my frame - do I need to match it to the decor or frames of an existing room?
- What colour should the frame rim be?
- What colour should the impression be?
- What colour should the back mount be?
- Do I want an engraved name-plate with my child's name and age? Which colour? Which font?
The turnaround is normally 4-8 weeks depending on your caster but this can extend at busier times or during the school summer holidays. If you have a deadline please let your caster know when you book.
